Thanks for the reply. I really didn't mean to encourage emotional manipulation, soulless optimization, listicles, etc., although I agree that a lot of writing online falls in that bucket, and it's even likely that the…
Regarding "The meandering info," I found this advice very helpful: "The sole purpose of the first sentence is to get you to read the second sentence. The sole purpose of the second sentence is to get you to read the…
I love JetBrains. For many years I was a happy subscriber to the All Products Pack, paid for out of my own pocket. I would have said that you'd have to pry my JetBrains from my cold, dead hands. A year or two ago, I…
I would guess that many devs' preference would be for a larger standard library, but not a kitchen sink. Personally, I'd be happy with a larger suite of utility functions (say, most of Lodash / es-toolkit - remove the…

I'm far from an expert, but this feels like an oversimplification. Python packages traditionally use setup.py to install code, and setup.py is all executable code under the installed package's control. Native Ruby Gems…

Reading this article has given me a profound realization: As a software user, I don't want the products I use to ship new features at "three, five, or ten times what they shipped a year ago," at the expense of…
Considering the many hundreds of technical comments over at the PR (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61478), the 8 reviewers thanked by name in the article, and the stellar reputations of those involved, seems likely.
